#CMT# #/CMT# The device has an auxiliary pump (7) present at an end of a catheter tube (5) immediately before a needle (6), where the auxiliary pump is controlled by an electronics (4) of a dosing pump (1). The auxiliary pump is in a position of high pressure to inject a liquid active ingredient e.g. insulin, by the needle in a hypodermic manner when pressure of the dosing pump is not sufficient. An error message e.g. catheter clog, is provided to warn when supply of medicament is stopped. Operation of the auxiliary pump is activated only with high catheter pressure by a pressure sensor. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for continuous hypodermic infusion of liquid active ingredient. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for continuous hypodermic infusion of liquid active ingredient e.g. insulin, into a body of a patient i.e. diabetic patient, in a hospital, clinic and a nursing home. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The device is designed in such a manner that the liquid active ingredient is infused into the body of the patient in a high reliable manner, and improves accuracy of time-related dosage, thus avoiding daily injection of the ingredient while improving reliability of dosing pumps. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic partial sectional view of a device for continuous hypodermic infusion of liquid active ingredient. 1 : Dosing pump 4 : Electronics 5 : Catheter tube 6 : Needle 7 : Auxiliary pump. |
